Hi everyone - looking for some professional advice. Either SW deckscapes stain is a horrible product, or I did something wrong.
Brief background - I am a decent painter. I'm slow....but I can't beat my rates. (Ha-ha.) I am no professional painter either though, and I've learned a lot through the years. I have always used Lowes paint. I know, I know...most of you guys hate the stuff. I have only had one major disaster with their paints through the years. But I keep reading here and elsewhere that everyone LOVES BM or SW paint, so I decided to see what all the fuss was about. I have a new front porch (wood) that needed its first staining. SW had a color that appealed to me. The good? It went on easily, covered well and did indeed just feel like a better quality product that I'm used to from Lowes. The bad? Every single footprint shows up on it! The final finish is very, very flat, and so every blessed time someone walks on it, it leaves behind dirt tracks that can NOT be swept off. It is only a month or so old, and it looks absolutely horrible. I've used various other deck products through the years (on other decks), and I've never had anything that held onto dirt like this product does. Any ideas? Did I do something wrong? And is there any way to fix this? I'm in New York, so my outside staining window is probably done for the year. All I know is, the first thing I'm doing this spring is re-staining that porch...and whatever I use is not likely going to be from Sherwin Williams! :( What would you suggest for me? |

The only backstory given in the first and second chapters is information that's vital to understanding the MC's actions in chapter 3 when feces and a fan make each other's acquaintance. As it happens, my main character absolutely loathes not being in control of a situation because when he was younger he watched his father die right in front of him. Chapter 1 reveals his father to be dead because the inscription on his grave stone is important, but the details of it--the fact that his father was murdered and that it has had a profound effect on the character--isn't stated outright until the end of book, possibly book two depending on how I end up dividing it. My worry is that things like the gravestone will initially be seen as irrelevant and thus alienate the reader who doesn't yet know any better. If you have any suggestions on avoiding that, that would be fantastic!
Don't think of it as irrelevant until the reader has the rest of the information, think of it as foreshadowing. Or of enticing the reader to keep going, to figure out just what that silly stone was talking about, anyway. As long as you play it right, which I'm sure you have (You didn't just throw it in there, right? It's not all like, "Oh, by the way, his gravestone said, No more eating fried shicken and that's an inside joke but I'm not going to tell you what" wink it sounds to me like it should be fine.
ALSO, um- I'll admit I haven't read all of this thread, or even all of your posts in this thread, so this was my first encounter with you describing your story, but- feces? PLEASE tell me you don't have a character named Feces? Please?
A good bit of advice that; I'll keep it in mind. I think I'll also check out Ms. Taylor. Her blog looks quite interesting though I couldn't find the post you mentioned. THanks so much for the thorough response and the different perspective heart .
DEFINITELY do it. Daughter of Smoke and Bone, her newest, took the #1 spot on my favourite books list the day it came out on shelves. I bought it as soon as it was unpacked, read it in an entire afternoon, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it yet (that was in October). Not only is her story great, her writing is spectacular in places, and she has a way of making you not even realize you're reading excellent writing because the book itself is just so good- you don't even notice how skilled she is with words until you read it the second time.
Before that, she published a collection of stories, called Lips Touch: Three Times, that I thought was going to be shmaltzy and Twilight-esque before I actually read it. The woman is a genious.
Also, I have a habit of latching on to a new writer-blog, or agent-blog, and reading everything this person has ever posted. It's an addiction. So that post could be two, three years back- it could even be on her OLD blog, I don't remember. It's there somewhere.

Omaha firefighters battled flames at a house fire overnight.
Crews were called to the home near 33rd Avenue and Jaynes Street around 1:45 a.m. Wednesday.
At one point, firefighters were ordered to evacuate the structure because the roof started to sag and eventually it collapsed.
No injuries were reported.
Crews remained at the scene at dawn, sifting through second-story debris.

It's a shame that the finality of Mass Effect 3's ending has made the DLC feel weirdly pointless, but the stand-alone setup of Omega makes the futility easier to forget. Returning to Omega - one of Mass Effect's most iconic locations - this expansion sees you trying to help Aria T'loak reclaim her hive of scum and villainy from a bolshy Cerberus commander.
The entire adventure takes just over three hours, which feels a little short for 1200MP - but the quality makes up for the lack of quantity. The production values in Omega are superb, and easily on par with the full game. The few characters you'll meet are well fleshed-out, and the areas you'll travel through are fresh and very detailed.
Bioware has clearly poured a lot of time into the environments, and in this case the pay-off is worth it. Locations you'll remember from the first Mass Effect game make an appearance, but it's the new stuff that brings Omega to life. Fighting through the underbelly of the asteroid adds a new sense of context, and the art direction and sense of scale are both fantastic.
In many senses Omega feels like a return to form. Mass Effect 3's blinkered focus on the Reaper invasion was a big change from the nature of the first two games, in which the stories you unearthed on each new planet felt more self-contained. The outcome is still loosely tied in to the story of your struggle against the Reapers, but Omega is generally a welcome break from the themes of the main game. As much as we love the Illusive Man, it's nice to see someone new in the spotlight.
If you've already completed Mass Effect 3 then going back to play more can feel a bit weird, but the fact that you're taking on an entirely new villain without the help of the Normandy crew makes it easier to enjoy Omega on its own merits. It's a bit like rewatching an episode of Star Trek.
Completing Omega gives you two new biotic abilities to unlock on the Normandy after you're done. The Lash ability pulls foes towards you with tremendous strength, whilst Flare causes a psychic explosion that's huge and purple and fantastic fun. You'll also find new upgrades for each of the game's weapon types, including a heat-sensor scope for sniper rifles and an omni-blade attachment for shotgun bayonet fun.
A handful of new guns pop up, too, but it wasn't collectable fluff like this that made Mass Effect great. Back when the combat was entirely dire, we loved BioWare's game for the stories - the almost episodic chunks of mystery and adventure. Omega's contained plot and strong sense of place gives it the air of a comforting throwback. It's a reminder of the time when the Mass Effect universe was a place to be savoured and explored, rather than fought over.
The asking price is a little too steep, but long-term Mass Effect fans will appreciate this return visit. Small-scale stories are what Bioware does best, and we're hoping we'll see more stuff like Omega in the next Mass Effect game.
A rather expensive return to form
- Top-notch production values
- Seeing the rest of Omega is ace
- Nice to have a break from the Reapers
- Digs up Mass Effect nostalgia
- Ten quid is a bit much

Hundreds of Islamist demonstrators took to the streets on Friday in cities across Egypt, days after a disputed protest law was adopted and police forcefully broke up unauthorised gatherings.
Since a popularly backed military coup ousted Islamist President Mohamed Morsy in July, his supporters have been staging near-daily protests calling for his reinstatement, with Friday's weekly Muslim prayers a key time for mobilising their largest numbers. The rallies have often descended into street clashes with security forces or civilians.
In an effort to quash rallies Morsy supporters have managed to sustain despite a sharp security crackdown, authorities have adopted a controversial protest law restricting the right to protest. Among other rules, it requires organisers to notify the Interior Ministry three days before holding a protest, while also setting prison terms and high fines for violators.

Keyword broadcasting
I recently made an information request (details later) and one of the things I asked for was details of searches made using my name and/or the name of my website.
I asked for this data and (depending on what they find) I have a right to this data because of a nifty new smear effect/tactic that you may not be aware of called 'keyword broadcasting'.
With keyword broadcasting you don't really need to publish/host anything on a website to effect a smear; instead, you merely have to hammer away at Google by [method specifics censored*], associate one or two ugly words with the name of your target, and Bob's your uncle with something to hide.
Let me show you what I mean:
Recently, Paul Staines (aka 'Guido Fawkes') cleverly pointed out the related searches that appear when you search for 'gordon brown'. Well, actually, he had to stretch to the more contrived option 'gordon brown is', but check out his post and you'll get the idea:
If you extend the search to 'gordon brown' and type an 'r', you'll see that just below the upper threshold is the ugly 'rocking horse' smear that Paul Staines regularly airs on his website:
Do a search for 'paul staines' and what you'll see is the following (naturally occurring) pattern:
Do a search for my name today and you'll find a recent addition to the related searches:
See that 'bloggerhead' (i.e. not 'bloggerheads') there? That is brand spanking new, and a side effect of multiple searches used by Glen Jenvey and/or his associates in order to find past/current locations of this smear.
This is a slightly more harmless side effect of the general administration of these smears, but it shows how easily the full effect could be achieved if one were to know what they were doing.
The demand threshold is lower for less famous/established names/figures, so MPs, councillors and candidates will want to be especially wary of this tactic.
(*I'd go into detail on this and other certain specifics required to make this work, but we all know that this would be a bad idea.)
MessageSpace: the unprofessional network
Recently I was forced to talk with Jag Singh, Chief Information Officer at MessageSpace about the conduct of Paul Staines (aka 'Guido Fawkes'), one of the bloggers in that banner advertising network. During a conversation where we established that MessageSpace would not consider hosting ads on a BNP site or an unregulated forum such as 4chan, Jag finally realised that his company could not claim to be a professional advertising network if they knowingly generated revenue via authors who knowingly published hateful/malicious/actionable claims… especially when those authors had no evidence to back these claims.
[Note - Watch out for spin: I was not and am not asking for the removal of a political opinion I don't agree with, but instead the removal of false and damaging accusations that cannot be backed with evidence. Normally, one would/could retain a lawyer to compel an author to put up or shut up, but there's also a legitimate 'free market' approach one can take by appealing to advertisers or, in this case, an advertising network.]
Happily, Paul Staines saw sense in protecting his cash intake by maintaining a (barely) professional stance, and he removed those false claims from his website.
Unfortunately, that same day Iain Dale, another MessageSpace blogger, also made and published multiple false claims about me.
He was approached by Jag with the same appeal regarding a professional approach.
Iain Dale responded in a way that one might describe as unprofessional.
Jag retained him on the network, anyway.
(One might be tempted to think that he put up with this behaviour because Iain is an advertiser as well as a publisher on the MessageSpace network, because he pays for ads for his magazine Total Politics. However, Jag had revealed earlier that Iain is not only a stubborn bugger who will lay into me "every opportunity he gets"… but also a bit of a slowpoke/deadbeat when it comes to making payments. I suppose even if Iain makes those payments later than any other advertiser on the network as Jag claims, the payments still get made, so perhaps Jag is willing to put up with his nonsense on that basis. It would appear, however, that Iain can afford to do without MessageSpace if it comes to it; Jag also revealed at one stage that Iain had made "about 5k" from articles and media appearances to do with 'smeargate' alone. Nice work if you can get it… bloody glorious if you can get it by publishing lies about others while playing the victim of smears.)
Jag Singh then inexplicably began to copy Iain's tired old technique of ignoring my emails and not returning my calls. At one stage he tried to laugh this tactic off by saying that it "works with some people".
Not long after this, another MessageSpace blogger Harry Cole (aka 'Tory Bear') took it upon himself to describe me as a 'shady' character and group me with Derek Draper, providing only Iain Dale's misleading posts and false claims as justification for his use of 'shady' and refusing to engage under comments or withdraw that what he could not support with evidence.
Now, Harry Cole is a bothersome gnat and not usually worth bothering with, but it's clear that he saw Iain getting away with it and fancied his chances in the circumstances. I saw a pattern developing and wanted it to end, not matter how keen Jag might be to dodge or ignore the issue.
(The way he's been playing it down, you'd think this was a disagreement about boiled or poached eggs for breakfast. I'd like to see him face repeated false accusations of corruption, paedophilia, and/or mental illness with no right of reply and watch how calmly he takes it.)
Several attempts were made to reach Jag Singh and stop the rot, but he was not answering his emails or his mobile or returning his messages… and he appeared to be 'out to lunch' for most if not all of Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
It was in these circumstances that several calls were made to Jag Singh's direct line (answering machine) and mobile number (answering machine), and the following two calls were made to the main switchboard at MessageSpace. I have recordings of both, but for now at least you'll have to make do with transcripts:
The morning call to the MessageSpace switchboard:
Hello, MessageSpace
Yes, is Jag Singh there, please?
I'm afraid he's out at the moment.
I'll reach him on his mobile then.
(Note – This may have been the same person I spoke to on the second call, but that didn't register until later, thus my assertion in this next call that it was my first call to this person when it was most likely my second.)
The afternoon call to the MessageSpace switchboard:
Hello, MessageSpace
Yes, is Jag Singh there, please?
I'm afraid he isn't.
Is he still out, then?
Is Paul Staines available?
He's out.
He's out, too?
Is anyone there?
I'm here.
Who are you?
Who's that? Who are you?
[long pause and protracted sigh]
This really tries my patience. My name is Tim Ireland. Who's available?
Sorry? I'm available. What do you want to say?
Knowing who you are would be a start.
Well, knowing who you'd be would be a start. You're the one who rang.
I just told you my name.
No you didn't
Yes, I did. I said; "My name is Tim Ireland."
Oh, yeah?
And this is…?
My name's Nick.
Your name's 'Nick'.
Yeah. What are you wearing?
I beg your pardon?
What are you wearing?
I've just called the office of MessageSpace and you're asking me what I'm wearing.
What's your interest in what I'm wearing, Nick?
Well, I've seen a picture of you, and I find you quite an attractive man.
Well, thank you very much. I'm taken, though Nick – and I frankly find that the whole… trail you've gone off on quite… offensive. Is it possible that I could speak to somebody in authority?
I'm in authority.
You're in authority?
Yeah, I am.
Is Kelly about?
Kelly who?
Kelly Nightingale.
No, Kelly's on holiday.
So you're the most senior person there…
… and you're asking me what I'm wearing…
… because you find me to be a very attractive man.
I do.
OK, thank you very much. Nick, do you have a last name?
I do, actually, yeah.
Would you mind sharing it with me?
I got it off my father, but I'm not going to give it to you.
I beg your pardon?
Well, I'd like to give you something, you know? As I say, I find you a very attractive man.
And you'd like to share that with the world, I take it.
No, of course I wouldn't. It's a private conversation, just between you and I.
Is it now?
Yes it is.
Unfortunately mate, it can be shared with your employer.
Who's my employer?
I didn't… say they were my employer, did I?
So you're just hanging around their office, answering their phones.
So Jag's going to be quite surprised if I talk to him and say that some guy called Nick answered the phone and didn't work for him and…
… and asked what kind of underwear you were wearing.
Exactly, yes.
Yeah. You never know; he might be surprised, he might be pleasantly surprised. Who knows?
So who do I speak to there if I want to talk about advertising on MessageSpace and who your current advertisers are?
Um… probably nobody, Tim, because I don't think you've actually got enough money to afford to be able to do it, so… why don't you just like… maybe… I think… what's the phrase I'm looking for? "Get a life!"
Uh, yes, OK Nick. You don't even know what I'm calling about mate, so I fail to see why you're being so… evasive.
Tim, would you please go away, and just get on with… doing what you do?
Well, this is the first time I've called you today. I really can't see what your problem is.
It's you. OK, well thank you very much. I've got things to do, so…
So do I, mate; I've got a few things to chase up today. I'd like to know where Jag is for a start, and if you could possibly take a message for me…
This is the second time I've had difficulty with the MessageSpace network that has resulted in people in their office attacking me in an unprofessional manner; the last time involved Paul Staines going out on a long, liquid lunch and throwing a dubious legal threat at me via not-very-good-lawyer Donal Blaney.
Jag Singh responded to this latest show of unprofessional behaviour by making another false accusation of harassment* against me, and by describing this response by one of his team members as 'hilarious'.
I didn't think it at all amusing, because I'm being falsely accused of shady dealings and criminal activities and mental illness by multiple participants in his two-bit banner advertising network, it's not the first time that something like this has happened, the problem appears to be growing, and it's happening at the same time as I am genuinely being harassed by an increasing number of people falsely accusing me of sex crimes against children.
1. The last thing I need is some tosspot responding to my concerns by trying to humiliate me with faux-homosexual come-ons.
2. As I've said in an earlier post, I don't regard the timing of these attacks to be a coincidence; I am being kicked while I am down and Iain started the trend with this 'clever' stunt that he has yet to explain, but refuses to discuss.
All of this jackal-like action revolves around MessageSpace**, which can now be fairly described as an unprofessional two-bit network of rogue publishers. Those wishing to advertise with them deserve to know that.
Those wanting to work as a publisher with MessageSpace should also be aware that Jag once made assurances to me about the security of my personal data should I join the network (i.e. along the lines of "Paul Staines will never see any of your private details") and that I no longer place any faith in those assurances, as it's obvious to me that MessageSpace is being run like a club for boys:
"The firm doesn't have a closed-network policy and anyone is allowed to do whatever they feel like doing (a bit Google-esque, but we're a few billion $ off the mark…), as long as they contribute to the firm they're allowed to do as they please." – Jag Singh
Finally, its worth noting that anyone wishing to discuss any of this with MessageSpace might have to make do with emailing Jag on a nondescript Gmail address; Jag tried to draw me away from using his main/MessageSpace email addresses in our conversation about the conduct of bloggers in his network because – he claimed – of the risk that his email might be bugged.
I don't care if that's a lie or the truth from Jag; my personal data's not going anywhere near that neighbourhood.
(*If you don't want me to call you, don't email me your bloody phone number. If you only want me to call you once, try answering the first call or responding to messages within 24 hours. If you're seriously feeling harassed, call the police or shut the hell up. Falsely claiming or implying that an offence has been committed or an investigation is underway is a smear in itself. Implying that someone is a stalker, refusing them any right of reply and then yelling 'stalker' all over again when they won't stand for it… well, that's just taking the piss. Jag should know better than this, especially after Iain Dale revealed he was full of it by today again threatening to file a harassment complaint… that he had earlier claimed to Jag had already been filed as an attempt to justify his refusal to enter into dialogue.)
(**Jag also revealed this afternoon that Shane Greer – who has also published false and malicious claims about me – had called and revealed details of a phone call to Total Politics that was none of his damn business. Essentially the same thing happened with the Sunlight Centre for Open Politics, but this is more likely to do with them sharing office space, something that Jag is keen to deny, even though they share a fax number. This raises questions about how close these three 'politically neutral' entities are, and is part of the reason why I'm being so ruthless with revelations here after Jag so kindly gave me the go-ahead to reveal what I damn well please with the glorious words; "publish whatever you have to". I even called Jag back after he had had some time to think about what he had offered, but he decided not to return that call, so tough.)
Andrew Gilligan in OCTOPUPPET: a short film about sock-puppets
I am hoping that you will like my new video very much. It's all about a little incident involving Andrew Gilligan and sock-puppets, and I was right in the middle of the spectacular James Bond fantasy finale when I tripped over a little man with his own James Bond fantasy finale on the horizon.
Anyway, it's finally finished, and ready for your viewing pleasure:
Andrew Gilligan in OCTOPUPPET: a short film about sock-puppets from Tim Ireland on Vimeo.
There are a few things that make this new video special, but one of the neatest bits is that all major threads relevant to the Andrew Gilligan sock-puppeting event (and external to bloggerheads.com) have been preserved in this video with some 350+ screen captures forming the 14-second 'rush' sequence. No matter what happens to these websites in the future, the relevant bloggage will be locked up inside this animation like a little time capsule… so future generations may know the greatness of Andrew Gilligan and his works.
(A moment of amusement for you; mid-production, I left a message to that effect in one of those since-abandoned threads, only to provoke a gloriously typical if not entirely self-aware response from the sad sock-puppeting bastard who constantly trolls the Liberal Conspiracy site under the name 'cjcjc'.)
All credits etc. are also in the video, but here I'd like to send a special message of thanks to comment regular Scotch, who was most helpful during the creative process and the long dry spells.
UPDATE – Turns out my timing's good, as Andrew Gilligan is busy disgracing himself again. Read all about it here, here and here, and (more recently) here.
G20: Callum Winton may wish to revise his eyewitness statement(s)
Callum Winton is a professional photographer who has recently started blogging, and was present at the G20 event where Ian Tomlinson was assaulted by a disguised police officer and later died.
I need to note from the outset that Winton appears to have been present for the entire event, but clearly did not witness the actual assault itself.
This footage taken by a member of the public and passed to the IPCC and the Guardian newspaper includes footage of the photographer, as he notes himself on his blog:
"New footage has been released of the Ian Tomlinson incident …. and in it plain as day is wee me taking pictures (long black coat, white shirt, blue jeans). http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/video/2009/apr/21/g20-ian-tomlinson-new-video" – Callum Winton on his blog (source)
This first screen capture (00:31) shows Winton walking past Tomlinson as the police line advances toward them:
The assault is not captured in this footage, but the camera swings around just in time to catch Tomlinson hitting the ground, and to show that Winton's view of Tomlinson is blocked by a building/pillar. This second screen capture (00:49 and 01:05) and shows Winton seemingly unaware of Tomlinson's assault as he turns away to inspect his camera:
Note how Callum Winton is oblivious to the crowd's reaction to the event.
Note also that the police are herding the public, which leads to the assault preceding Tomlinson's collapse.
Also, please keep in mind that something between 3 to 5 minutes passes (timeline) before Tomlinson collapses after walking off in the same direction as Winton.
So, time passes, and Tomlinson collapses. Callum Winton does not witness the collapse, but happens across the prone figure of Tomlinson. He takes some pictures, notices the man is not well, then goes back to the police line and alerts them to Tomlinson's condition:
"When I was there I found a man that had collapsed. I took a couple of pics of him and then I realised he was in trouble. So I ran and got the police, but by the time we got back I think he'd passed away." – Callum Winton on his blog (source)
Callum Winton then returns to the scene of Tomlinson's collapse at the same time as the police.
Compare the picture taken upon his return showing the woman protestor treating Tomlinson to this other video provided to the Guardian newspaper, where four things can be seen in quick succession:
00:10 – The woman protestor treating Tomlinson is moved away by police, who proceed to treat Tomlinson themselves
00:18 – A single clear (probably plastic) bottle is thrown, angering and dismaying the crowd
00:23 – Callum Winton, now on the other side of Tomlinson, can be seen no more than 12-15ft feet from where that single missile landed (after striking a police officer on the arm at about waist height)
00:25 – Mr 'Back The Fuck Up' swings into action, making it clear to those not within immediate earshot that someone is hurt. The crowd is unhappy, but eager to cooperate. No other missiles are captured in the footage.
It is at this stage that we turn to a Sun article published the day after this event.
Callum Winton appears to be the single source for this entire article, pictures and all, though when he blogs about it, he appears to be quite surprised:
"A new day and a new surprise. One of the pics I took of the man last night was used by The Sun newspaper on pg.6″ – Callum Winton on his blog (source)
(Note – Mr Winton later blogs that he intends to donate the "fair price for any freelance images they've used" to charity.)
The best I can make out from what's been published by The Sun, and what's been published and claimed by Callum Winton, is that a Sun reporter took a statement at some stage and Winton was unaware that he was doing so and/or was unaware that the man taking it was a Sun reporter or somehow connected to that newspaper. However it happened, Callum Winton winds up as the only named witness in a short article also containing his pictures:
Keen tabloid observers will note the headline that might suggest to casual observers that it was the bottles themselves that killed Tomlinson.
Also, take note of the claim that beer bottles and cans were thrown, as we'll be getting back to this shortly:
The Sun – Man dies as bottles lobbed at rescuers (2 Apr, 2009)
POLICE were battered with beer bottles and cans as they desperately tried to save a dying man at the height of the G20 riots in London last night.
The casualty, believed to be in his mid-40s, was knocked to the floor amid the mob near the Bank of England.
But when cops struggled through the crowd to reach him, they were pelted with missiles. They finally got to him and set up a cordon as two ambulances rushed to the scene.
Officers gave the man mouth-to-mouth before paramedics tried in vain to save him.
Photographer Callum Winton, 37, said: "A guy was lying on the ground. His eyes were glazed over, he didn't look at all well.
"I told the police and they tried to reach him — but were being forced back by the protesters. There were bottles and missiles raining down on them."
The man, shaven headed and wearing a Millwall FC top with a grey T-shirt over the top, died at the scene.
Callum added: "Police were trying to break up the crowd, which was getting out of control, throwing things at buildings.
"Officers charged and pushed them back to get them away from buildings. It was chaos."
Please take care to note that while this article does so poorly and is prone to misinterpretation, it does relate a sequence of a events where police were pelted with multiple missiles prior to their treatment of Tomlinson, and not during as some people have been suggesting.
The police, for example, claimed at one stage that they felt compelled to move Mr Tomlinson because of the missiles thrown during his treatment:
"The officers took the decision to move him as during this time a number of missiles – believed to be bottles – were being thrown at them." – Met statement (source)
And Callum Winton made a similar claim on his weblog on the day of the event:
"I took [this picture] while the police were working on reviving the man amid flying bottles and breaking glass." – Callum Winton on his blog (source)
At or about the same time that Callum Winton was taking this picture (large version), the video footage described above showing the cordon/treatment of Tomlinson was being captured from almost directly behind him:
Callum Winton is unlikely to have seen and heard something very different to what was captured on video here, because as Winton himself has confirmed via email, he is in the foreground of the video footage while looking at the same event (i.e. he sees and hears the almost the same visual and audio information that the camera records).
That video footage shows a single clear bottle being thrown. That bottle does not appear to smash on impact, and is most likely plastic from what we can see/hear of the footage.
The police were certainly not "working on reviving the man amid flying bottles and breaking glass", unless the mood changed quite suddenly after this footage was taken just in time for Callum Winton to capture the image he claims to have taken "amid flying bottles and breaking glass" (that doesn't actually show any flying bottles or breaking/broken glass) just before the police moved Tomlinson to avoid the "number* of missiles" being thrown a them.
(*People sometimes forget that 'one' is a number.)
I've since emailed Callum Winton and asked him about a few of these conflicts and inconsistencies:
1. Three times he avoided answering a specific question about him being the likely/implied source of the claim that beer bottles and cans were thrown. He would not confirm or deny being the source of this claim, but I should point out that it's just as likely that this was added as (ahem) a dramatic touch by someone at The Sun with an active if limited imagination and/or an anti-protestor agenda. (Callum Winton's statements on his blog also make it clear that he did not see Tomlinson being 'knocked down' by the mob or anyone else.)
2. Callum Winton claimed that "3 Bottles were thrown. No cans." and that "they were thrown and hit the building above our heads so that we were showered in glass." He also pointed out, as he did in his statement to The Sun, that "all the protestors turned against the people throwing them shouting at them to stop as the police medics were trying to help Mr.T", so while he appears to be describing the same events seen in this video, there are a number of glass missiles that should be visible and audible (according to his account), but are not.
3. I say 'glass missiles' because Mr Winton also stated that he did not actually see any missiles in their pre-impact state. He could only say that "it was glass in one form or another" and "solid like bottles". So The Sun article opens with a paragraph stating that; "police were battered with beer bottles and cans"… but the only named witness in that article did not see any cans thrown and was not in a position to identify any missile as a beer bottle specifically, or even as a glass bottle generally.
Mr Winton had nothing of relevance to add after seeing the video footage that casts so much doubt on his version of events, but he did take the time to assure me that it was suddenly none of my business, and that if I wished to speak with him further it would have to be on a professional basis:
"I'm a working photographer, so if you want a couple of hours of my time then you can book me for a portrait session. You bring bottles and I'll bring a camera ;o)" – Callum Winton
I think that last part may have been a joke, but being a humourless lefty I can't really be sure.
Anyway, just between you and me and everyone else who thinks this is their business, I suspect that Callum Winton might be a little bit confused.
I don't mean that in a nasty 'mental' tag way, I mean… well, just take a look at this account of Winton's as related by The Sun:
(Do keep in mind that the police line Winton returns to is in the process of herding the crowd as part of a kettling operation, and that they drove Tomlinson before them after one of their number had assaulted him. In other words, the police have contributed to Tomlinson's condition, and created the circumstances that allegedly make it difficult to reach him. All of this applies regardless of what is thrown where and when.)
But when cops struggled through the crowd to reach him, they were pelted with missiles. They finally got to him and set up a cordon as two ambulances rushed to the scene… Photographer Callum Winton, 37, said: "A guy was lying on the ground. His eyes were glazed over, he didn't look at all well. I told the police and they tried to reach him — but were being forced back by the protesters. There were bottles and missiles raining down on them." – Callum Winton as quoted by The Sun
Now, this statement and the way it's presented/introduced allows for (and appears to specifically, if clumsily, describe) circumstances where multiple glass missiles and/or bottles were thrown and/or police were impeded to some extent some distance from Tomlinson, before he was surrounded and treated by police. But remember that the day before it was published, Callum Winton had written on his weblog that he had witnessed this barrage of missiles during the period in which he was surrounded/treated by police:
"I took [this picture] while the police were working on reviving the man amid flying bottles and breaking glass." – Callum Winton on his blog (source)
The evidence would suggest that Callum missed the assault and the collapse, but then happened across the (lone?) prone figure of Ian Tomlinson, took a few pictures, went to get help, witnessed the smashing of bottles at some stage some distance away from Tomlinson, before returning to witness the treatment of Tomlinson by police, seeing a single plastic bottle thrown at that moment and later compressing/conflating the two events to unfortunate effect.
The "beer bottles and cans" are likely to be a fanciful addition to the tale courtesy of the tabloid press, but it is equally possible that Callum Winton registered the way Ian Tomlinson looked or smelled (and/or the people around him talking of Tomlinson's drunken state) on some level, conscious or not, and simply added the word 'beer' to 'bottle' without even thinking about what this might imply.
Winton had not witnessed the assault and did not even register the crowd's reaction to it (which is a likely cause of any extraordinary disturbance Winton describes when he goes to fetch the police from the same location where police have stood by after one of their own assaulted a member of the public).
Further, Winton appears to be a stranger to the lifestyle of Ian Tomlinson and your typical socially-conscious protestor**. It would be very easy for a man in his position to confuse, blur or totally misunderstand the relationship between an apparently drunken man and a crowd that appears (to him) to be angry for no good reason.
(**Note – on the latter, he has consistently described the day as "the G20 riots" in his communication with me.)
So please understand that I'm not judging or demonising Mr Winton, but I really think that he should spend some time thinking about the statements he has volunteered to the newspapers and to the IPCC, and seriously considering clarifying them, at least to the extent that they don't appear quite so contradictory.
And I'm not going to hold my breath, but The Sun really needs to withdraw that claim that "police were battered with beer bottles and cans as they desperately tried to save a dying man" if they can't produce a witness or evidence to back it up.
Ditto for any implication that he was "knocked to the floor amid the mob" by anyone but a policeman.
Here are the main points that Iain Dale refuses to discuss
[Psst! See also: what Iain still describes as a spam/DOS attack]
Yes, I called and emailed Iain. A lot.
And I regard that to be entirely fair, because he had a lot of explaining to do.
He still does:
On 18 March 2009, Iain Dale agreed to get in touch with the Conservative MP Patrick Mercer and warn him that 'terror expert' Glen Jenvey was a loose cannon, falsely accusing me of being a convicted paedophile, and likely to do him significant political damage. Despite my explaining it to Iain that I needed him to do this because I was having trouble getting past Mercer's staff, Iain decided that he would not contact Mercer directly and would instead talk to his staff… who did not pass his message on.
Some people (mostly anonymous people) have been suggesting that it was Iain's business if he didn't want to get involved, but he did get involved. Further, he promised to do a specific thing to help, didn't do that, and then lied about it.
Regardless of what Iain was thinking when he contacted Mercer's staff instead of Mercer himself as requested, I responded to Iain's eventual 'contact made' email by leaving him in no doubt that I now believed that Patrick Mercer was aware of Jenvey's actions. Iain knew this wasn't the case, but he let me carrying on thinking it.
Why? Was he hoping that I'd falsely accuse Mercer of being a willing participant in the smears? Or did he simply not think or care enough about the incident to help me properly or correct me when I was falsely under the impression that he had completed an agreed task?
I let this go at the time, partly because I had police and ISPs and webmasters and newspaper editors to chase, plus I had only just 'met' Mercer and couldn't be sure who was telling the truth when I finally reached Mercer myself and he claimed it was the first he'd heard of any of it.
Later, I confronted Iain about all of this, but he refused to discuss it beyond this single email that raised more questions than it answered.
One of the questions raised by Iain's brief description of the action that he did take was why exactly Patrick Mercer's staff weren't passing my correspondence on or even discussing the issue with their boss.
- When I produced proof of Glen Jenvey falsifying evidence of extremism, they didn't pass any of it on.
- When I produced and later authenticated audio of Glen Jenvey boasting about several things, including his use of an alias ('Richard Tims') that he had earlier denied using, they didn't pass any of it on.
- When I named Jenvey's accomplice – the younger brother of a man who sits on Mercer's executive committee – they didn't pass any of it on.
- When, after I named Jenvey's accomplice and anonymous claims that I was a paedophile immediately started appearing and were also reliably linked to Jenvey, they didn't pass any of that information on, either!
But only Iain knows what was said to whom on that last and quite crucial occasion… and he's not talking.
He even repeatedly refused to take my calls when I was literally begging him to cooperate with me, just to the extent of helping me fill two gaps in the revised statement I was due to give to police after the Easter weekend.
A claim popped up at one stage that Iain was sharing information with Jenvey, but I had every reason to distrust it and said so to Iain. I repeatedly explained to Iain that I would probably only be including his name and contact details in the statement if he left me with no choice but to put this data in the gaps left by the account/answers he refused to give me.
In other words, Iain forced me advise the police that they would have to ask him personally what happened that day if they wanted to know, because your mother Iain isn't speaking to me. Pretty rich from a man who often complains bitterly about wasted/squandered resources paid for by the taxpayer, and extraordinarily childish and petty to boot.
Iain later made this false claim (in comments here) as part of his justification for the 'parish notice' hissy fit;
"[Tim] has told the Police that I am conspiring with the person who has been smearing him."
This is not true. Further, Iain knows that I suspected him only because I was amazed at how evasive he was being (still!), and that I called and emailed him many times at one stage because he refused to even acknowledge receipt of an email that explained this point to him in some detail:
I was trying to avoid including Iain Dale in the statement, but his refusal to communicate left me with no choice (regardless of what I may or may not believe about what his intentions are/were).
More recently, Iain Dale has been refusing to confirm or deny if any of Glen Jenvey's paedo-smears were submitted to his website, and if so, when.
I mainly need this to draw up a complete picture of when and where these smears appeared. I do not blame Iain for allowing the smears to go live any more than I blame any of the other webmasters who found themselves hosting these smears, but he and Paul Staines are the only likely recipients refusing to confirm or deny receipt of these smears.
As the 'smeargate' campaign spiralled out of control, Iain Dale was making false claims based on single sources and seeing them into print, and many lazy journalists were taking what was claimed on various right-wing blogs and either airing it with a half-hearted health warning or taking the claim(s) at face value.
Meanwhile, familiar faces started appearing on the Paul Staines order-order.com website repeating ugly claims that I'm secretly in the pay/employ of Downing Street, the Labour party and/or the government/party via a certain Cabinet Minister (the same one Dale was publishing false claims about).
Several claims also rewrote history to the extent of painting me as a supporter of Derek Draper, when the opposite is true and was true even before 'smeargate'.
I took the position that I was no longer going to stand for these false claims, especially in the current climate, on the websites of Paul Staines or Iain Dale or anyone else likely to be taken far too seriously by the press.
At the same time that Iain Dale was making out that I had no good reason to repeatedly call and email him (and pretending that I was threatening him with anything other than calling him to account, publicising his antics and/or greatly complicating the techniques he uses to have others do his dirty work for him under comments), Paul Staines was deleting all such claims from his website. Yes, that Paul Staines. Everybody who is anybody in British political blogging knows how difficult it is to get Staines to take such things seriously without a legal letter, and that he is not likely to want to do me any favours.
So surely Iain Dale can appreciate that I might have a point about any similar claims published on his website… but he doesn't even want to talk about it.
Iain has taken this long past any point where he can contend with any credibility that I'm having a go at him just because he's a Tory and/or that I'm jealous of his success and/or that I'm just trying to get at him because I've been hiding my medication inside lumps of uneaten gristle and the voices keep telling me that he's the Antichrist.
He's also got a nerve pretending (yet again) that I have been unreasonable about this at any/every stage rather than quite upset at one final stage after being dragged to the end of my tether by his continued pretence of 'ignoring' me while publishing false claims about me in his website.
And yes, he damn well owes me some answers.
I don't plan on quitting until I get them, and here's one good reason why:
When Usmanov knocked me offline, a couple of jackals took it upon themselves to take the opportunity to make false claims about me when my website was down.
The sharp-eyed among you will have noticed that there are others who have a grudge against me who are also taking advantage of the Jenvey smears.
Regardless of how much of any of this results from Iain Dale taking advantage of the Jenvey smears etc., I cannot afford to send a signal that I will allow any false claim about me to stand unchallenged on any widely-read site that enjoys mainstream credibility.
Iain Dale must respond. He's the editor of a mainstream magazine (that brands itself as politically neutral, no less). What choice does he have?
I'll be in his face and complicating his every effort to play this down and carry on with business as usual until he does. What choice do I have?
(Psst! If anyone wants to play the peacemaker, please keep in mind that the path to a resolution involves what Iain has been avoiding all this time; dialogue.)
Police badge numbers: accountable parties call for context
Channel 4 – Police badge-covering condemned
The chief inspector of police describes some of the behaviour of police officers at the G20 protests as "unacceptable".
Taking questions from MPs on the home affairs select committee, Mr O'Connor also said it was "totally unacceptable" for police officers to conceal their number IDs, as several of them appeared to be doing during the protests.
But London Mayor Boris Johnson has been defending the overall police handling of the protests.
I think it's entirely fair to expect an inquiry into the police not wearing badge numbers, the frequency with which this happened on the day and in general, and the possible causes behind it. Ditto for the known use of unnecessary force and the not-unrelated use of 'kettling' as a tactic.
Also, most of the negative PR concerning the police has resulted from their own efforts to skew the debate!

Paul Staines (aka 'Guido Fawkes') is clearly faking it for 'smeargate'
YouTube – Paul Staines, smears and 'smeargate'
Days after the 2006 podcast featured in this clip, it was revealed that the target of these smears had sex with men, and Paul Staines fronted up to the world (behind his mask, natch) and asked; "Did it hint enough?"
So on top of everything else, Paul Staines needs it explained to him that being homosexual/bisexual does not make you a paedophile.
(Paul also seems to think that having a dash of minority about you makes it impossible for you to be racist, but that's for another time.)
The only thing that makes this smear from Paul Staines (and Alex Hilton) in any way rare is the fact that we have audio of it, because Paul Staines regularly publishes peristant smears on his website, and I've had to take action over these myself recently:
Stephen Tall – Paul Staines: not the Messiah, just a very naughty boy
Paul Staines is a libertarian who will happily peddle smears that undermine governments, any government and any political party. That's his role, and one he is eminently comfortable fulfilling.
Paul Staines also has a vested interest in upping page views in order to boost his advertising revenue via the banner advertising network MessageSpace (in which he plays a murky but integral part), and he must know the value of the page loads generated by his policy of allowing people to smear just about anyone under comments on his website. Only a fool would fail to recognise the draw of a widely-read website that allows Westminster wannabes to share unsubstantiated rumours…. and/or how unsubstantiated rumours evolve into 'open secrets' via the simple process of repetition from multiple* sources.
(*Or single people pretending to be multiple sources, right Paul?)
Paul Linford – Smeargate was a car crash waiting to happen
Back in 2007, Guido spent months attempting to convince his blog's many readers that Gordon Brown had been photographed on a rocking horse wearing a nappy, and to utilise the power of search engine optimisation and Google to spread this ridiculous tale across the entire internet. It even made it onto Wikipedia, and when I tried to remove it, some patsy came along and reverted my edit.
He also gave house-room to a sock puppet called "Stanislav" who suggested, in one particularly disgusting post, that the Prime Minister had been steadily driven mad by the strain of repressing his "homosexuality" over many years – part of a deadly serious attempt by the right to fix the idea of Gordon as a "weirdo" in the public's mind.
None of this in any way excuses the suggestion that David Cameron is suffering from some embarrassing health complaint. But it does put it into perspective, and should serve as a corrective to those tempted to hail Guido as the new conscience of British public life.
Paul Staines' repeated claim that he is not responsible for the content of comments because he doesn't read them is eighteen flavours of flatulence, not least because he's pretty damn quick to delete any comments that highlight less-than-flattering data about him and/or his close mates.
It's also a bit of a fib, because he's led the little 'rocking horse' game himself by commenting about it and
blogging about it. Under his main nickname and everything. This time.
Paul Staines (aka 'Guido Fawkes') is a hypocritical spin-doctoring smear merchant, an unapologetic drunkard, a danger to shipping… and our new sheriff.
After years of nicking stuff from Private Eye and then loftily sniffing that he does not even read that magazine, he's now being heralded in some places as its replacement.
Of course, this absurd level of praise comes to us from the site of the same man who now touts Alex Hilton as the natural choice to fill the void left by the departure of Derek Draper, so there's a very real possibility that some or all of what you're reading could be influenced to some small degree by self-serving political/professional propaganda.
(Sorry to go off like a totally nutty conspiracy theorist and all that.)
UPDATE – This is an unrelated item that belongs here anyway. More on Iain 'half of the story' Dale later.
Ian Tomlinson died of abdominal haemorrhage
BBC – G20 death was not heart attack: A police officer has been interviewed under caution for manslaughter after a new post-mortem overturned the cause of Ian Tomlinson's death… Now a fresh examination has found he died of abdominal haemorrhage, not a heart attack, as originally thought. Lawyers for the family said the new post-mortem raised the likelihood of a manslaughter charge… "Dr Cary's opinion is that the cause of death was abdominal haemorrhage. The cause of the haemorrhage remains to be ascertained. Dr Cary accepts that there is evidence of coronary atherosclerosis but states that in his opinion its nature and extent is unlikely to have contributed to the cause of death." … The [coroner Dr Cary's] statement concluded that both the opinions remained provisional and subject to further investigations and tests. In a response, the Independent Police Complaints Commission said: "Following the initial results of the second post mortem, a Metropolitan police officer has been interviewed under caution for the offence of manslaughter as part of an ongoing nquiry into the death of Ian Tomlinson."
As per the last post, I'm going to need a moment. With you shortly.
Newcomers to this (if there are any) will want to start here, check this category for more, and watch this video:
UPDATE – People are going to be very angry about this, but I want to stress that there is something here that has not changed, and I'm going to use a comment I made before this latest coroner's statement was issued to help others appreciate it:
[Please understand that I normally quote and link to sources, but this was a rare political debate at the site involved, such things are generally (if gently) discouraged at that site, and I'm not entirely sure if "I told you so, Stan!" is a place that I want to go to.]
There were multiple assaults at the G20 protest events. Most of them resulted from the practice known as 'kettling', which is claimed to have a calming effect of crowds, but appears to be used to justify the use of violence against protestors… whether that's at an individual or institutional level in unknown at this point.
(One peek at the medic laying into protestors with a baton from behind the police line is enough to make many worry about the state of Teh State, but further images show a fellow officer trying to restrain him showing that some parts of the system are still working as they should.)
Further, we also have video evidence of two officers clearly abusing/exceeding their authority, and both of these officers had obscured badge numbers.
The officer who back-handed and batoned the woman the day after Tomlinson died was wearing epaulette covers designed for this purpose:
None of this has changed.
But a full, undiluted and independent inquiry into both practices should now be regarded as a certainty. We shouldn't have to march on any police stations to get it.
[Let's hear it announced in very good time, please, police and government peeps. Don't make us stalk chase you.]
Iain Dale: the return of the naked vicar
Iain has made good on his subtle threat to go back to unregistered comments (see comments here, and do note the timing).
I once made the mistake of telling Iain how much it meant to me personally that he had finally taken the responsible step of introducing comment registration on his Blogger.com-hosted site. My exact words at the time were "it's 80% of the problem between us" and he was quite struck by this revelation.
Not only does this act stink of petty revenge, but regardless of what he claims, he knows what the most likely effect will be now he has removed the main obstacle to those who use multiple identities in his comments. This is an escalation that he is dressing up as a minor bit of housekeeping:
Iain Dale – Parish Notice: The Sequel: Following yesterday's events I have been pre-moderating all comments. I have had several emails from people suggesting that if I am doing that, I might as well re-allow anonymous comments. A few weeks ago I did a poll of readers which showed that by a 53-40 margin you wanted to see that facility restored. I decided that this was not a big enough margin to do it, as the current system seemed to be working well. However, I do think that if I am pre-moderating there is more of a case for it. I should make clear that this is not an invitation to unleash the dogs of war…
But this won't help him any more than comment moderation will, as I have pointed out to him personally and explained publicly in this updated version of the 'fan club' post.
He's wasting his time and putting his readers through needless inconvenience(s). And using them a bit, too, if we're to be honest.
And he's having them on if he's making this out to be a rush attack or mass invasion. It's far more elegant than that, and completely justified.
(Why send 100 messages when we can simply make him worry about the 1 comment in 100 to the point where he actually reads all of what he publishes?)
I wonder how Iain will deal with people pretending to be me pretending to be other people? I can tell you from experience that this is now bound to happen in the climate he's created.
And what's his exit strategy? He can't keep moderation on forever, and he knows from past experience that (a) he can't possibly hope to keep up with comment free-for-alls, and (b) it's only a matter of time before his anonymob goes sour on him again.
And why is he going through all of this when all he has to do is engage like a sensible person and discuss our recent disagreement(s) and/or the many claims he has published about me (and others) that he cannot back with evidence?

SOUTH KINGSTOWN — When things weren't going well, Tim and Kirsten O'Neill thought of the stories.
Every oncologist seemed to have his or her own version of: it may sound bad now, but I know a patient who was just like you and is now sailing around the world…or, just came back from a safari.
It felt like a cruel joke when, as relative newlyweds, Tim and Kirsten were diagnosed with cancer within three months of each other in 2006 and 2007. She was 33, and he was 40.
On Monday, the South Kingstown couple plan to run the Boston Marathon together to write their own story of resilience.
"I want to be that tale for somebody else," said Tim, now 47. "I want a doctor to say, 'I know a guy with your disease who just ran a marathon.'"
After a grueling year of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, Kirsten is now free of the stage 3 rectal cancer that had spread to her lymph nodes. Tim is still struggling with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a blood cancer.
As part of a clinical trial for a new drug, ABT-199, Tim is receiving medical care at Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Truth is, the treatment will probably fail him eventually. "CLL cells just figure out how to grow back or grow through the treatments," said Katey Stephans, Tim's nurse practitioner.
But today, because of the drug, he feels well enough to do just about anything.
Why not run a marathon?, the couple asked each other while lying in the sand last summer at Narragansett Town Beach.
"I was like, 'Let's do something not related to being sick,'" Kirsten said.
The O'Neills are running with about 700 others as part of this year's Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team. So far, they and a third runner, their friend Dan Kortic, have raised more than $82,000 for research and studies similar to the one that is keeping Tim alive.
Tim is still in the active phase of treatment, taking medication daily, "which makes it all the more amazing that he's doing this," Stephans said.
She and Tim's oncologist, Arnold Freedman, said they do not know of another patient who has run a marathon while being cared for at Dana-Farber.
"Every time we see him, he looks well, he feels well, and the assessments of his blood look quite good," Freedman said. "We supported him going through with this."
The form of leukemia he has, the most common type in adults, causes B cell lymphocytes to grow out of control and accumulate in the bone marrow and blood, primarily in the lymph nodes. As CLL is incurable, treatment focuses on controlling the disease and symptoms.
Some patients with low-risk CLL can live for years without needing treatment. But Tim has a more aggressive form, with a typical three- to five-year survival statistic from diagnosis, according to Stephans.
"Obviously I'm OK at this very moment," said Tim, who at 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds appears fit and healthy. "But I'm not in a good place on paper."
Remarkably, the disease has had little effect on his training. He and Kirsten have been running 30 to 40 miles a week, alternating short and long runs along Narragansett's Ocean Road. He is aiming to finish the marathon in about 3 hours and 47 minutes, not much longer than the qualifying time for his age group.
Tim could barely walk when Freedman and Stephans first examined him in November 2012.
"He was pretty sick," Stephans said.
A first round of chemotherapy and a drug regimen had failed him, leaving him grasping for the next option.
"Literally, I could feel my lymph nodes growing hourly," said Tim, who works in sales.
Extreme fatigue left him unable to stay awake for more than four hours at a time. He had trouble breathing because a lymph node in his abdomen had swelled to the size of a football. A herpes outbreak in his throat, brought on by his compromised immune system, made it difficult to swallow.
Today, he takes nine pills every morning to regulate his abnormal cell functioning and bolster his immune system, and feels as well as he did before his diagnosis.
"What Tim is experiencing is hopefully our vision of where therapy for most cancers is going," Freedman said. "To have therapies that are much more specific and much less toxic, that's what he's a part of right now."
Kirsten, who works as a speech pathologist for South County Hospital Healthcare System, is running her second marathon, and Tim is running his first.
While cancer-free today, Kirsten, 40, said the disease "changed everything."
"I was active, athletic and young, and then all of a sudden I'm walking around with a colostomy bag like a 75-year-old," she said.
The couple, who met at the Newport St. Patrick's Day Parade, went from going out with friends three nights a week to essentially being homebound for two years as she, then he went through chemo.
"We thought she was going to die for a while," Tim said. "I was like, 'Honey, what song do you want played at your funeral?'"
The treatment took away Kirsten's ability to have children. And, as a side effect of chemotherapy, the bottoms of her feet are always numb. Running offers some relief by increasing her circulation. "Hey, the good thing about it is, I can't feel the blisters from running," she said.
Surviving the disease has made her more physically tolerant. "After dealing with so much pain, when I'm running I know my body can take more," she said.
Tim describes cancer as the ultimate betrayal. Your own body is attacking you.
Running has helped them regain a sense of control. "I've learned one thing in my 47 years, and it's if you train, you will get better," Tim said. "If you lift a weight 50 times a day, two months from now you're going to be able to lift it 100 times a day. If you commit to it, it will happen."
And not everyone who has cancer is dying, he added. "A lot of people live and get on living."

Campaign Viral Chart: 2012 hangs on a while longer
Google and YouTube's reviews of 2012 dominate this week's viral chart, with Fiat taking third place with its rap about motherhood.
London 2012 highlighted in Google's annual review
The past week's most recommended video with 195,848 shares is Google's 'Zeitgeist 2012: Year in Review', which recaps major global events such as the Olympics, the Arab Spring and Felix Baumgartner's jump from space.
In a similar but more light-hearted vein, Google's video-sharing site YouTube looks back at what was popular in 2012 by creating a new video for smash song 'Gangnam Style'.
In third place, Fiat takes off the rap music video format with 'The Motherhood featuring Fiat 500L'. Produced by Rubber Republic, the car gets substantial screen time as a woman sums up life with children with lines such as "I'm expressive, I express all the time because the doc said to not breastfeed is a crime".
To view the most-shared viral ads from previous weeks visit the Brand Republic viral video board on Pinterest.
The chart, produced in conjunction with Unruly, ranks ads according to the number of times they have been shared on Facebook, Twitter and the blogosphere.

More Students Learn CS In 3 Days Than Past 100 Years

amazed by the graphic quality
That's because it's not computer graphics. It was hand-drawn animation on laser disc.
Re:Copies (376 comments)
During Halloween you still see kids copying the first three movies. The 1977-1983 movies.
Great point. My son born in 2005 chose, on his own, to be Han in Carbonite for Halloween this year.
Re:Screw finding another job (374 comments)
Well, unfortunately, you have to be wealthy to start your own business
How about bootstrapping your own business while keeping your day job? You can become wealthy without taking out loans!
Re:Yes. and its even worse. (948 comments)
7 in the evening is the normal time when work stops in almost entire private sector
Where do you work (location, industry)?
I've been in the electronics industry for almost 15 years in the Midwest and have rarely seen engineers work until 7 PM, nor 12 hour days, except in rare bursts.
(I've long suspected that many workers overestimate the amount of time they spend at the office . . . or at least engaged in productive work.)
Re:New Poll! (1521 comments)

I'm not!
Re:You can opt out, and you do agree to it (344 comments)
I'll admit it: I didn't read the terms as closely as I should have. (Not to mention that they've changed since I signed up.)
The more I learn, the less I like it.
I'm especially bothered by this:
For content that is covered by intellectual property rights...you specifically give us...[a] license... This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
So if I've somehow shared a video with one of my friends on Facebook and subsequently delete my account, Facebook still has a transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to my video?
Re:This explains the political process (824 comments)
Wouldn't it be interesting if everyone did this? Then, without warning, someone who didn't even show up in the polls would win.
Like Jesse Ventura.
Re:Figures don't lie (547 comments)
You'd hope sales would be up since 1020.
Actually, the Geats were big fans of Angelina Jolie's performance as Grendel's mother and snapped up Beowulf by the case.
Re:What are all these strange symbols about? (599 comments)
As soon as I finished engineering school, this ceased to be useful.
When I designed ICs at IBM, I could make any resistor value I wanted. Now that I'm involved with PCB design, all surface mount resistors are black (except 0 Ohm, which tend to be blue). Figuring out their value may require a microscope and a datasheet.

Re:Trade-offs of a 9/80 work week (1055 comments)

the countries that have higher productivity per worker than the US.
According to a U.N. report released in 2007, only Norway had higher productivity per hour worked than the U.S.
Re:I worked 9/80 for 4 summers (1055 comments)
It's when portions of the employees are working regular weeks and some are on 9/80 that things tend to fall apart.
This is the problem I see at my employer. My site is on a regular 5-day schedule, but another site, with which we interact daily, is on 9/80. Add to that a time-zone difference, and it can be tough to get time with them.
Re:i voted (709 comments)
Using a Rube Goldberg machine.
Me too. Except instead of the candle burning through the string causing the anvil to drop and cast my vote for Obama, the candle caught the cat's fur on fire causing it to dart across the room in a panic and cast my vote for Ralph Nader. I demand a recount!

- Weave: Hand Hooked
- Styles: Contemporary Rugs

Love the rug...only wish they made it in a larger size
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I was unsure about this rug when I ordered it, but when it arrived, I was delighted. The "picture" of it makes it look like the circle designs are really big but in fact, they are smaller. On my 4'x6' rug, there are 8 of the larger circles across and 12 down, to give you some idea. The colors are vibrant and fun, and at a quick glance, this rug looks like a modern Oriental! It's awesome!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.


text: By Bill O'Neil From one end of San Antonio to the other--from left to right--downtown streetcar opponents will gather outside of the Bexar County Courthouse Tueday Morning to send what they say will be a very clear message. Tea Party Organizer George Rodriguez told 550 KTSA News such a protest really says it all--but he's not convinced those who have been elected--who support the streetcar plan--will actually listen. "Then what we need to do is just go to the ballot box in November, and remove these people--and remove them for good" Rodriguez said. Also taking part in the protest will be LULAC's Henry Rodriguez--who told 550 KTSA News he's ready to press an even louder message should this one fall on deaf ears. "I hope they are with me when I tell them if this is not working, then we'll support to civil disobedience" Rodriguez said. The protest is set to get underway at 1 0 AM Tuesday Morning.

I wish I had this information 30+ years ago, it would have saved me so much agony, depression and damage to my ovaries and uterus. I had suffered with these symptoms and more and it eventually culminated in losing 7 babies and my female organs, but not till I suffered for far too long.
I never had any problems so I really cannot relate to this blog but after reading it, I count my blessings.
Excellent information! I never had too many symptoms myself, but my daughter will sure appreciate all this info:) Thanks Mary
Had a partial hysterectomy 2yrs ago because of pain,irregular bleeding,and fibroid tumors.Still continue to have "phantom " periods w/all the symptoms except actual bleeding. Would u still recommend Arvigo Therapy? HELP!!!
I know many women who have had hysterectomies that get Arvigo to help with abdominal wellness. You may want to try Young living essential oils of Dragon Time or Frankincense to calm your system. Apply them directly on lower abdomen during distress or even the reflex points around the ankles daily as a maintenance. Go to http://www.orderoils.com for more information on those oils.

Since AL is a tall state and it's hard for people from North AL to get to a swap in South AL and vice versa, we're planning two swaps now. The folks in the middle part of the state can go to either or both. Either group will welcome new swappers. New gardeners don't have to bring anything. Just come meet everyone and see how it all works. Most people bring lots of extra plants that they are happy to share with newbies to help them get started, so you'll probably go home with a trunk full of plants.
On prior threads, most of the North AL people who have responded have said that April 16 works best for them and that they'd like to meet at Guntersville. Please chime in as to whether that time and place work for you and whether you plan to attend so we can make some arrangements. We also need to start posting trade lists on the Exchange Page and post notices here when we do. Guntersville is a lovely area and there are several delightful places to meet. We can eat at Wentzel's Oyster House (they do serve things besides oysters) or Top of the River and I assume there are other places around there. Who lives in that area and can tell us about that? |
Here is a link that might be useful: For link to Exchange pages
Follow-Up Postings:
Apparently the "Central Alabama Swap" is going to be at Oak Mountain State Park on May 17. That's not too far South for our area and the date works for me. Since no one seems to be pushing for one at Guntersville, I think I'll go to the one at Oak Mountain. Maybe we can do Guntersville some other time. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Central Alabama Swap May 14
- Posted by outsideplaying 7/No. Ala (My Page) on Sun, Mar 13, 11 at 11:10
So is the Guntersville swap off this year? If not I can give some suggestions for restaurants depending on where the swap will be held. |
